A storied Wedding Ring.

In almost all of the marriages which
take place at Castle Garden q police
man is Obliged to act as best man to the
bridegroom. This is because these we'd
Sdings are kind OF leap year Observance
in which the man is wooed and in
which the Castle Garden detectives lend
their official influence to the lady's suit.
Detective Groden has been at Castle
Garden a good many years, has wit
messed great many weddings, and has
had the privilege also of kissing the
bride. In the Catholic marriage service
ring is indispensable, and often in the
hurry of an enforced wedding bride
grooms have neglected to provide the
requisite. Detective Groden, in fact
has had, many times, to hunt up . ring
to the delay of the nuptials. Seven or
eight years ago 1t occurred TO him that
q property ring, so TO speak. would be q
convenience, and 30 he bought one that
had all the appearance OF gold. That
it is really base metal he regards IS q
matter Of no consequences to the brides
who wear it for . moment 1t IL ring
and IL is big enough for the finger Of
any bride.
When Mfr. Groden bought this plain
plated imitation wedding ring. he said
to himself that this circlet was likely TO
make romantic history for itself. and
80 he laid 1t away in his desk and kept
o record of the number Of times 1t was
used and the names of the contracting
parties whose names were solemnized
with this same ring. Marriages are
reasonably frequent at Castle Garden.
and, during the seven or eight years
that this ring has been Ia use, have
averaged nearly ono q week. A we'd
